Members of the Quartet are Pro- fessors Gilbert Ross and Emil Raab, violinists; Oliver A. Edel, cellist; and Robert Courte, viola, of the Music School. The series of six concerts repre- sents the first performance in Michigan of the Beethoven Cycle. Other performances are scheduled for Oct. 17, Nov. 7 and 21, Dec. 12 and Jan. 9. Detroit Performances On the Friday previous to each concert, the group will also pre- sent the series at the Rackham Ed- ucational Memorial in Detroit. The 16 quartets fall into three main divisions: The Early Quar- tets up to 1800, consisting of the six quartets of Opus 18; the Middle Quartets up to 1815, consisting of the three Rasoumovsky Quartets, Opus 59, the- Harp Quartet and the Serioso Quartet; and the Late Quartets to 1825 consisting of four quartets. To this list of Late Quartets is added the Grosse Fugue (op. 133). Beethoven originally intended the Fugue to be the last movement of the B-flat Major Quartet. When it was first performed, he withdrew the movement because of the ad- verse criticism of musicians and critics alike. The work is still played today, but rarely as a part of the Quartet. Highlighting today's program will be the "Quartet in E-Flat Major, op. 127," which introduces the great last five Beethoven Quartets. Schumann Praises Work Completed in 1824, it was per- formed for the first time a year later. Robert Schumann's opinion of the work was that "this Quartet stands beside the C-sharp Minor Quartet of Beethoven and some of Bach's mightiest compositions on the extreme boundary of all that has hitherto been attained by hu- man art and imagination." The cycle will not be played in chronological order, but each con- cert will represent works from the three periods. In addition to its public concerts at the University and those in the Library of Congress, the Stanley Quartet has given many concerts for young people. It has also par-: ticipated in state and national pro- fessional and educational confer- ences, All concerts of the Beethoven Cy- cle will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Rackham Lecture Hall and are open to the public free of charge.

The governor stressed the fact that America must grow. He said our economy must provide 1600 new jobs every day. "Our welfare depends on the full use of our resources. We need 2 million new homes a year for our growing population and t overcome, in time, the shame of the slums," he declared. Gov. Stevenson said, that we need 300,000 new classrooms, hos- pital space for 800,000 new beds, highway system development and conservation of our top soil. Commenting on Sen. Everett M. " Dirksen's appraisal of President Dwight D. Eisenhower as "our gentlest president" Stevenson said, "It seems to me that what some Republicans need is rest, not re- sponsibility." Colombo Plan Nations Hold Conference By the Associated Press The first New World conference of the Colombo Plan countries, a five-billion-dollar cooperative ef- fort to raise living standards in Southeast Asia, opens tomorrow in Ottawa. Some 70 delegates from 14 countries will attend. cThe United States, which has its own Point Four program of economic assistance to under-de- veloped countries around the globe, has been a member of the Colombo consultative committee since 1951. It will be represented at Ottawa by an eight-man dele- gation headed by Samuel C. Waugh, assistant secretary of State for Economic Affairs. U.S. Role Advisory This country's role iin the Col- ombo plan is primarily advisory. Although the United States has extended some economic aid di- rectly to Colombo members, its chief contribution is providing technical advice, making avail- able industrial experts and help- ing train native students in en- gineering specialities. The Colombo plan evolved from a 1950 meeting of the British Commonwealth foreign ministers in Colombo, Ceylon, elaborated la- ter in a London conference. De- spite its origin, the Colombo plan is not limited to Commonwealth countries. The Philippines and Thailand, while not full-fledged members, participate in the pro- gram and will have observers at the Ottawa conference. The contributing countries, in ? -addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, are Cana- da, Australia and New Zealand. The participating countries are India, ,Pakistan, Ceylon, Burma Indonesia, Viet Nam, Laos, Cam- 1 bodia, Nepal, the Malayan Federa- tion, Singapore, North Borneo,: Brunei and Sarawak. Six-Year Plans Each of the participating coun- tries worked out its own six-year- plan for economic development. These programs, drafted in 1951 and speeded by technical aid, ma chinery and capital investment from the big cooperating coun- tries, are now at midpoint. The International Monetary Fund has also helped. In 1953 the fund made a 62% million dollar loan to India and it has floated other smaller loans for other Co- lombo plan countries. -_ Gov. G. Mennen Williams intro- duced Stevenson as "The next president of the United States." Also introduced at the Demo- cratic rally were Senatorial as- pirant Pat MacNamara, and Democratic congressional candi- dates from Wayne County. Stevenson's speech was carried state wide by both radio and tele- vision. To Visit 'U' Elmer Rice, who has a reputa- tion as a playwright and novelist, as well as a stage director, is ex- pected to be at the University to direct one of his own plays this semester, according to Prof. War- ner G. Rice, chairman of the Eng- lish department. Elmer Rice is currently discuss- ing what play can be most suit- ably cast with members of the play production group in the speech department, Prof. Rice said. The playwright who is expected to arrive about Oct. 13 will give a lecture soon after his arrival on censorship in the arts. He will also speak informally to students in playwrighting classes.

Unless this edict is reversed in court, Ralph Ornelas, the fresh- man who refused to sign the ROTC loyalty oath, must either leave school or take the pledge. At the University of Illinois, 10 of the 11 barber shops on campus were reported to be giving good service to Negro students in re- sponse to a strong drive by the student bodly. A drama which has been un- folding at Michigan State since early last summer reached new heights this week when the bro- ther of an injured foreign stud- ent reached his bedside after a frantic 9,000 mile trip which was culminated in 21/2 days. At his brother's prodding, Sankar S. Chari, a student from India who lost his right leg as the result of a laboratory explosion last June, ended his self-imposed three-week fast. "He just lost his will to live", stated his brother, Krish- ama. The Ivy League recorded ano- ther college "first". From Cor- nell comes the report of the year's first pantie-raid. No doubt the military depart- ment of LSU was shocked when the form it mailed to "Mr. Maxie Cavin" for the compulsory ROTC course was returned with a de- clining message. However Maxie need fear no action by the mili- tary department. Maxie is a coed.
